he advises restarting by inserting the OSX disc and pressing down the C button to reboot from there then selecting disk utility, hard disk and repair.... Does he mean me to hold down the C key on the alpha keyboard or the ctrl key?
Should I just ask for my money back??? If it is a simple repair do I just literally push the disc in, push the power button and hold down the C button?
That's where I would begin, too, with
Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

  • My ipad touch sensitivity is not working like it should. It is an ipad mini and I have had it for only 6 months. Would a repair be covered by the one year warranty?

    My ipad mini has not been functioning properly as of late and it is making me worry. What could be causing this problem? Are such changes covered by the one year warranty? 

    If there is a hardware problem that is causing the lack of touch screen sensitivity, it would be covered by the warranty as long as the problem was not caused by accidental damage - like dropping the iPad, getting it wet, letting it get too cold, too hot ...something like that.
    See if this helps. Close all of the apps in the recents tray and then reboot your iPad.
    Tap the home button first. Then double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My Center button on my Ipod 3rd generation is not working? What do i do it still goes up and down just doesnt select anything.

    My Center button on my Ipod 3rd generation is not working? What do i do it still goes up and down just doesnt select anything.

    What I had to was backup my device's data to either iCloud or iTunes. Once it was backed up I erased all of my settings as if my iPad just came out of the box. You set it up again and it will asked you to either start as new, back up from iTunes, or back up from ICloud. If you want to see if everything works you can set up as new, otherwise just pick the choice depending on where you backed up your information. Eventually it will restore all of your information and your iMessage and FaceTime should be working. It worked for me, if you'd like more/better instructions let me know!!

  • HT1420 My songs that I purchased on my itunes account from my dad's computer will not play on my new computer, I have access to my entire account but can only play songs purchased using my new computer. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi Kevin,
    Have you authorized the Computer to your Apple ID?
    If not, sign on to iTunes.
    Then got to the Store menu option at the top of the screen (CTL+B if it is not showing), and click on it to display the dropdown, and select Authorize this computer.
    If that doesn't work, then sign on your Dad's iTunes ID and repeat the Authorization process.
    Cheers,

  • ITunes Wi-fi sync not working like it should.

    So I got a new ipod touch 4th generation because my other one broke. I'm trying to set up wifi sync so I don't have to connect the device to the computer incase it malfunctions. Half the time it doesn't work, and if it does work, I still have to connect it directly to the computer. Sometimes I use wifi sync the first time and it doesn't work, then I plug it into my computer and it detects it. Then I unplug it and use wifi sync and it works like it should. So it kind of defeats the purpose of using wifi sync if everytime I want to sync content through wifi, I'm forced to connect the ipod to the computer. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Please Help!
    Also, my Ipod is not even a month old and is working like new. It is refurbished.

    Hi Blotontheland,
    Thanks for the prompt reply. The interesting thing is that my Macbook Pro was upgraded today to Yosemite and I still have the spinning wheel on the start up screen before the login page comes up.

  • RegExp not working like it should

    Maybe I just need another pair of eyes looking at this, but I have a RegExp instance that should work according to multiple tools on the web but it's not matching when it should in my application.  The expression should match if there isn't any leading or trailing spaces.  Here's a code snippet:
    var regexp:RegExp = new RegExp("^\S.*\S$|^\S(?!.)", "s");
    if(regexp.exec("Hello World") == null)
         trace("NO MATCH");
    Using tools such as Grant Skinners RegExr (http://gskinner.com/RegExr/) it appears that the previous code should get a match.  Does anyone see an issue or know why it isn't working?

    Hi All,
    while assigning value to a RegEx in constructor itself, we can either specify pattern (for which we need not  escape already escaped character)
    like
    var regexp:RegExp = new RegExp(/^\S.*\S$|^\S(?!.)/s)
    or we can specify a string (for which we need to escape already escaped characters)
    like
    var regexp:RegExp = new RegExp("^\\S.*\\S$|^\S(?!.)","s")

  • Problems with "find nearby missing photos", not working like it should in LR4

    After I imported photos into LR4 I decided to split the event within the same folder creating 2 subfolders and proceeded to move the files within the finder. Went to LR4 and synchronized the folder but it didn't fix the file location on the missing files. So I tried finding individual files and checked the "Find nearby missing photos" but this doesn't seem to work like it did in LR3, because it won't find any nearby missing files even though they are right there new to each other in the same folder.
    I don't want to dremove them and re-import because I have added ratings and I fear I would loose this info if I did that...

    Your assumption that you would loose your ratings and develop settings is correct, if you would re-import.
    Reimporting is never a good idea.
    For the rest you have two alternatives: either you reconnect one image after another, or you undo on OS level what you did in the first place, then execute the move inside LR.
    Depending on how many images you moved this could actually be the fastest route out.
    "Find nearby missing photos" did not work reliably for me either in LR3. I have never found out when it did and when not, so I have preferred to learn how to perform any such operation inside LR.
    Another valid question is why you do not use collections for your desired split , and leave the folders as they were.
    According to my prejudice MAC users would not be as conservative in sticking to folder structures as Windows users..;-))
    Once you master LR folders could be very unimportant storage buckets, as every angle for organizing your images would be covered by (smart) collections and keywords and other metadata.
    Good luck, Cornelia

  • Power button not working like it should...

    When booting up, I have to press power button several times. Finally, when it does come on (Pavilion dv6Notebook), the fan runs quite a bit. I am worried my hard drive is about to go. Any tips?

    Try a soft reset and see what happens.
    If the power button is not working, here is a link for a program that remaps the power button on your TX so you can hard reset and power off.
    There is a program called PowerBtn 2.0. This allows you to turn off the device when the power button does not work. (Thanks to Computerwiz for the info.)

  • Automatic Backup not working like it should

    Hello cohenj80,
    Thank you for the details about the FaceTime and iMessage activation issue you are experiencing on your iPad 3.  I recommend following the steps in this article when you are not able to sign into FaceTime or iMessage on your iPad:

  • IMessage not working like it should!

    I have a problem that I'm sure other people have as well.
    The problem in a few words is that iMessage is not capable of fast switching between Wi-Fi and cellular network.
    Example 1:
    When I am texting with my girlfriend and I'm inside my house, but a bit too far from my router (but still connected to it, yet with a weak signal), the iPhone often fails to send the message (red dot error) or with a certain amount of delay (usually a minute or two).
    Example 2:
    When I am outside, on a location where I don't have a 3G connection and obviously no Wi-Fi either, I have the same issue as described in the example above. It also occurs when having a 3G connection, but this issue is much less occuring.
    In my opinion, Apple should seriously rethink the way iMessage works, cause it is quite annoying when you think that a message has been sent. When you check your iPhone 20 min/ 1 hour/ 2 hours... later, and you find out the message hasn't got out, you feel like smashing the phone against a wall. Especially when the message is urgent.
    I never have this problem with What's App, that's why I prefer to continue using this. Maybe Apple should buy them, so they have at least proper working software.
    Is there a way to fix this? The level of 'this annoys the crap out of me' on a scale from 1 to 10 is 11 right now.

    I notice the same issues with my iPhone and iPad.  I hope there will be a fix for it soon.  The same type of problem occurs when I am using Safari and am farther away from my router at home; my device continues to try using the wi-fi instead of switching to 3G to optimize the download speed.
    Another problem with iMessage: my sister has an iPhone without a data plan and has to turn off iMessage to send texts when she is outside of a wi-fi zone, otherwise it keeps try to send as an "iMessage" instead of a "Text Message" and displays the red dot error that it cannot send.  And when I try sending her an iMessage (my iPhone knows she has iOS 5 with iMessage) it shows as delivered, even though she has her iMessage turned off and does not receive it until she turns it back on.
    One more thing: The whole iMessage to email address and/or phone number is very lame...please make all iMessages (sent and received to either location) sync between registered devices.  It just makes more sense than having 2 conversations open with the same person becasue you iMessage from your iPhone using your phone number then switched to your iPad using your email address..
    There are a lot of things to fix/improve with iMessage to make it as good as WhatsApp or BBM...
    Get to work, Apple!
